“Through our cross-Canada Generating Innovation with Japan (GIJ) series of Japanese company reverse-pitch events, we are bringing together major Japanese firms and leading Canadian startups in the fields of AI, IoT, Fintech, and so on. There is also an increasing number of Japanese companies investing in Canada and we are actively encouraging businesses to look at opportunities in both Japan and Canada.”
“There is a strong and stable relationship shared by Japan and Canada, which in some sectors such as agriculture should expand under the CPTPP,
and the 90 year anniversary celebrations offer an opportunity for both countries to work even more closely together. Innovation and technology are key areas of collaboration and we expect business and trade ties between both countries to strengthen in the coming years.”
